About AutoCorrect

By using AutoCorrect in a Microsoft Office 2003 program, you can quickly correct common typos, misspelled words, grammatical errors, and incorrect capitalization in a document. After you install Microsoft Office 2003 Proofing Tools, you can automatically correct text in several other languages the same way you correct text in your language.

To use AutoCorrect for a specific language in Microsoft Office Word 2003, do the following:

  1. Enable editing for the language.
  2. Turn on automatic language detection.

For other programs, AutoCorrect follows the language property of the keyboard that you're using, so be sure to install and switch to the keyboard layout for the language that you want to type in.

For information about using AutoCorrect and customizing AutoCorrect lists for an Office program, see Help for that program.
